There are no stupid questions :)
"set spantree priority" is used to elect the root bridge. The lower the better
.
Remember that the root bridge will forward out of every interface. Now, imagin
e
that your root bridge is connected to another switch through two ports. That
second switch will need to put one of it's connecting port in blocking mode.
You can influence this decision with the "set spantree portvlanpri" command.
Again, the lower the better. The command is "portvlanpri" because you can
influence this on a per-vlan basis. Therefore, if you have redundant paths lik
e
the scenario above, you can load balance your vlans.
Hope this helps :)

Maybe it's a stupid question, but what's the difference between
'set spantree priority' and 'set spantree portvlanpri' ?
